Chapter 326: Change of the Nine Types

~15 min read 2,914 words

"Teacher, I'm back!"

After dinner, Ji Jue, who walked home for digestion, finally carried the specialties in his hand and pushed open the door of Chaosheng.

However, he couldn't help but lower his voice when speaking.

For some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of tension and guilt. That's not right, he wasn't skipping class to go to an internet cafe; it was 'the master has things to do, the disciple serves'. It was the tool man returning home after a successful mission... What was he nervous about?!

The reason he came so late was simply because Ye Xian would be free at this time.

Alchemy is a serious and complex discipline. Even a master must be cautious, focused, and strive forward. Sometimes decades of preparation might just be for a result in one day. Even for ordinary work, no one wants someone to knock on the door just when they have entered the state, just to give you two eggs.

Ji Jue couldn't even flatter enough, how could he rush to be annoying.

The living room still echoed with the exaggerated music and noise of variety shows. Ye Chun, who had just met in the morning, had instantly been beaten back to her original form, transforming from a rigorous and solemn appearance into a salted fish lying on the sofa eating snacks.

Seeing Ji Jue, she just waved her hand, pointed to the table, and then pointed to the study.

It meant put the things on the table, Auntie is in the study.

Too lazy to even want to say a word.

"You're lazy to death!"

Ji Jue shook his head, put down the things, and knocked on the door of the study.

The door wasn't closed, just ajar.

It seemed that the previous visitor had just left not long ago. Half a cigar was extinguished in the ashtray, which made Ji Jue feel particularly surprised—he wanted to know who had such a big face, could smoke in front of his teacher, wasn't kicked out, and instead was given an ashtray...

Glancing at Ji Jue, who was calm on the surface but didn't know what he was pondering in his heart, Ye Xian was too lazy to explain, pointed to the opposite seat, and signaled him to sit:

"I thought you would come tomorrow."

Ji Jue smiled honestly, revealing the sincere expression that every young person who wants to progress has: "I thought, since I'm back, I should find the teacher as soon as possible to report on the work."

"..."

Ye Xian's expression became even stranger, and she asked back: "Do you think there is anything I don't know?"

Did you secretly build a long-range missile launch base that covers the entire Federation, or did you grab the disaster fragments of the sin-tainted and make a ghost thing in Kunwu?

Or the massacre you committed in the Wasteland snowfield, and that long list of battle records that blinded who knows how many people's dog eyes? Or the big cleanup you pushed with all your strength and united all parties, which only ended this morning?

What other f*cking stunts do you have that I don't know about?

"Well done."

Ye Xian praised: "Even Nirvana thinks you are a talent, and specially came to praise me for my old sword not being old, and asked if I was interested in letting the student join in, and everyone work together to do big things."

"Ah, this..."

Ji Jue was instantly sluggish, sweating profusely: "Slander! It's all slander, Teacher!

You know me, I have always been a good citizen who abides by the law. Doing those things was also a last resort. How could I cooperate with terrorists like Nirvana!"

"Yes, that's right, they especially value this point of yours."

Ye Xian nodded: "Especially after doing so many things that terrorist organizations haven't done, and still being able to let the Security Bureau wipe your ass, it's truly a genius."

Worthy of you!

Every time you go out, you can make some stunts that make people doubt life and surprises that make people's eyes go black!

Fortunately, under the coverage of the natural disaster, the influence and interference from the outside world have been isolated. The changes inside the Nether Sea Worm are unknown to anyone except the parties involved, and Ji Jue's work was clean enough, leaving no living witnesses to testify.

Only a teacher like Ye Xian, who knows the essence of her student, can guess a little.

Otherwise, the inquiry group and the punishment team of the Taiyi Ring would be at the door by now—is this student of yours a direct descendant of the Ember master or the orthodox of the Nether?

Oh, the two seem to be no different.

Don't ask, asking means our Tianlu lineage is all like this.

"Alright, don't be startled."

Ye Xian glanced at him indifferently: "It's just that this time there is an old fox like Lü Yingyue to take the blame, helping you solve the process and future troubles.

Let's set aside the matter of the Sin-Tainted for now, but that kind of missile capable of covering the entire Federation had better not appear a second time; otherwise, the Military Department will be the first to deal with you.

Other things don't matter. If you do it, you do it. It's good to do it thoroughly."

Saying that, she beckoned to Ji Jue:

"Alright, where are the things?"

"Oh oh, here, I have already written almost finished..."

Ji Jue instinctively reached into his pocket, pinched the thesis with wet ink, but before he could take it out, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming through the wall, carrying resentment as if piercing through the heart, staring quietly.

Making his movements stop in place, he coughed twice, lowered his head: "... just a title, I'll show it to you after the main text is finished."

"Who asked you about this?"

Ye Xian couldn't stand the struggle between her own salted fish and the roll dog, sighed helplessly, and pointed to the box Ji Jue brought in.

"Oh oh oh, so it's this, I thought... cough cough cough..."

Ji Jue was instantly as if granted amnesty, quickly picked up the box at his feet, and put it on the table.

He didn't need to operate it.

Ye Xian hooked her fingers slightly, the box floated by itself. After the six-layer spiritual quality blockade was opened, the solid alchemy of mercury composition dissolved rapidly and returned to a liquid state.

Amidst the flowing silver light, a broken blade without a guard rose slowly and fell into her hand.

—Panying!

Unlike the incomplete state it was in before Ji Jue left, after experiencing the slaughter and blood sacrifice along the way, and having been tempered several times, the sword blank of Panying is now over two feet long, and its aura of ferocity and malice has become even more violent.

But when it fell into Ye Xian's hand, it was silent, without any sign of riot, instead fading away all the wonders, as if it were just an incomplete iron sword.

Until the moment she injected spiritual quality, strands of scarlet spread from the sword spine, enchanting and strange, as if a piece of blood jade.

However, on the two blades, a wisp of agile blade light had no flaws at all.

After the cold light was exhausted, it became as clear as water.

Flicking her finger, knocking on the sword body, instantly, a wisp of distant ringing rose, lingering and spreading, swinging back and forth within the study.

"Among the Nine Types, the Panying type is the most compatible with your style. Extreme and aggressive, wandering on the boundary, great success and great lack, breaking and establishing by oneself, and even... fast success and fast failure.

You know the flaws and hidden dangers in it, so I won't talk nonsense."

Ye Xian commented indifferently: "It's rare to have such a degree in the first contact with the Elephant Sword Nine Types, but the details are still sloppy. This is a problem caused by your bad habit of liking to pile materials before. Alchemy is not the energy-binding formula of the entropy system. It's not that everything can be solved by brute force. Pay attention to this yourself."

She paused for a moment, her fingers swept across the blood jade, that wisp of clear light, and nodded slowly: "Compared to that, this work of grinding is commendable.

After going out for a trip, you are much more steady, not as irritable as before."

"..." Ji Jue listened quietly, peeking at the teacher's expression, and asked tentatively: "Then this is, qualified?"

"Hmm, qualified."

Ye Xian nodded, not hiding her appreciation. No matter how strict she was, she wouldn't suppress the student's results in this kind of evaluation: "From the perspective of quality, after completion, it is definitely beyond the 'commoner'."

"Placed in the Ye family of the past, it would be enough to be enfeoffed as a marquis."

【Commoner】, 【Feudal Lord】, 【Son of Heaven】.

This is the triple evaluation of famous swords in the world in the lower chapter "Saying Sword" of "Elephant Sword Say".

The sword of the commoner, striking in front, cutting the neck and collar above, deciding the liver and lungs below, using blood courage and fierce heart to take chaos and kill the enemy. Even if it is peerless in sharpness, it is nothing but a tool for killing life and harming lives. No matter how sharp it is, it will eventually become rotten ash.

That's all that can be achieved by ordinary things. The achievement is limited, and it cannot be used for great purposes.

The sword of the feudal lord is not so. Its system follows the round sky to follow the three lights, follows the square earth to follow the four seasons, and harmonizes human intentions to determine the eight directions. Moving like the shock of thunder, within the four seals, there is no one who does not submit.

It refers to the sword weapon with the quality of heavenly craftsmanship. With its sharpness and power, in the hands of the strong, it is enough to cut off the chaos of a time and a place, control victory or defeat, and grasp the situation.

Not a single word of content is missed!

In short, it is a strategic weapon without discount.

The nine types of swords recorded in the Elephant Sword Nine Types all have such potential.

As for the higher Son of Heaven's sword... what system of five elements, discussion of punishment and virtue; opening of yin and yang, holding of spring and autumn, walking of autumn and winter... what decision of floating clouds above, cutting of earth discipline below...

Ji Jue just treated it as the setting controller who wrote this thing blowing water.

After all, even in the records of Saying Sword, it is extremely vague, and since the Ye family had history, the Son of Heaven's sword that could be achieved was only one.

The second monarch of the Eternal Empire in the past held this sword to dominate the four seas, reorganize the eight wildernesses, and passed it down from generation to generation among the emperors, and the Ye family's sword craftsman position also continued for generations, no wonder the descendants praised it so much.

The ancestor relied on a sword to eat all the bitterness of the descendants for dozens or hundreds of generations. What's wrong with blowing it?!

If this kind of good thing happened to Ji Jue, Ji Jue would say that the Son of Heaven's sword is invincible to everyone he meets. What health, white deer, information, ether, preparation, Tian Tian Yuan, don't come to touch it. He might even carve a monument all over the world.

At this moment, being able to get the evaluation of a feudal lord from the teacher's mouth for this Panying broken sword, even if it refers to the completed type in the future, Ji Jue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

At least it proved that Ye Xian didn't choose the wrong person.

Ji Jue indeed had the qualifications and ability to inherit "Elephant Sword Say", and would not disgrace this inheritance.

"Next, besides the missing blessing and recasting, it is the water-grinding work of grinding, which won't take up too much energy." Ye Xian threw Panying back into the box and asked slowly: "Among the nine types, do you have any plans for the next one?"

"Hmm..."

Ji Jue pondered for a moment and answered solemnly: "With the experience of Panying, I want to try Fish Intestine or Red Sky."

Elephant Sword Nine Types, each has its own inclination.

Panying takes the large group as the axis, with many branches.

And what Fish Intestine and Red Sky point to are Bai Lu and Mirror, Tian Tian Yuan and Entropy.

The former changes without form, hides the medium and hides the form, can use the weak to overcome the strong, blood flows five steps, the world is striped. The latter rises and changes, exhales clouds and mist, operates the time of heaven, and controls the eight directions.

To this, Ye Xian shook her head slowly.

"The steps are too big." She said decisively: "Change the direction. These two are not suitable for you at the current stage, the achievement is too difficult."

Ji Jue heard this and didn't get to the bottom of it, just nodded.

The teacher said to change the direction, so change the direction. Where did so many whys come from?

"Which one do you think is more convenient?" Ji Jue was curious.

"Then Pure Jun."

Ye Xian thought for a while and said: "It just so happens that the Soul-Calling Bell is also broken. Always using other people's works, it's hard to make progress yourself. Take this opportunity to make up for the lessons.

Pure Jun combines the strengths of both transformation and ether, and is aimed at soul spirits and shaping, just complementing Panying. It's expensive, but you are not short of money now.

If it is achieved, not only can spiritual quality refining be introduced, but it can also be combined with the foundation of the dissociation technique before to help you complete the basic version of 'Jing Zhen'."

Ji Jue heard this, and his head was a bit big, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Too difficult?" Ye Xian asked.

"A little."

Ji Jue thought for a while and shook his head, "To be honest, besides Panying being able to be achieved quickly, the others have their own troubles and difficulties, and the scope covered is too wide, almost all of the Twelve Goodness are included.

I don't know if I can finish learning it in my life."

"..."

Ye Xian was silent. For a long time, looking at his eyes, it became even more... mocking, just like looking at a fool: "Do you think that every generation of inheritors of the Ye family is a one-in-a-million genius who can complete the nine swords."

"Ah?" Ji Jue was sluggish.

"In the inheritance of the Ye family through the ages, the first ancestor created the source, the third ancestor established the prototype of the nine swords, and the middle ancestor, by chance, gathered the power of the world, the help of all parties, and the joint efforts of all Ye family inheritors, completed the main body of the nine swords.

Since then, generations have added bricks and tiles on this foundation. Up to now, until the destruction of the Ye family, both "Containing Elephant" and "Saying Sword" cannot be said to have been completely completed.

Generations don't say nine swords, just being able to achieve two swords is already rare. Why do you think you can achieve nine swords?"

Ye Xian raised her eyes and glanced mockingly: "Or do you think I achieved it?"

"Ah, this..."

Ji Jue was sluggish, and only now did he finally react: "Don't, don't need to achieve it?"

"Don't say whether it's needed or not, ordinary people wouldn't even have this thought, right? Aiming too high also has a limit."

Ye Xian sneered: "The nine types of swords are now nine completely different schools and skills, and the concepts and even styles are completely different.

Among the inheritors of the past, those who can create the sword blanks of the nine swords are already gathering the strengths of the nine types. In the end, they still have to focus on one path, or open a new path.

I haven't heard of any nine swords from the first ancestor, and it doesn't hinder the Son of Heaven's sword from being achieved by him."

She shook her head and asked: "What I hate most is being conservative, and then being a fool in the book. The path of predecessors is sometimes the mistake of predecessors.

Using this to distinguish direction, familiarize with the foundation, and supplement shortcomings is enough."

Saying that, she raised her right hand, and her five fingers spread out.

A wisp of vermilion and purple changing spiritual quality rose from her fingertips, just like a heavenly pillar in the clouds, immovable, majestic, domineering and amazing. Then it turned into azure blue, ethereal and boundless as if the sky... Amidst the complex changes, it suddenly turned into dark scarlet, as if blood energy was disturbed, fierce and hungry.

This time, Ji Jue finally recognized it.

That is the blood light of Panying!
